Travel sites in New Zealand

by kai 25/06/2007

The other day Ashley McKee was writing about hotwire.com, a travel site that – well… – didn’t get the concept of multi-city flight bookings quite right. Bascially they’re offering the option and then forward their customers to expedia.com – why would you do that? To show you that hotwire.com is not even at the lower […]

Ramping up my dev environment

by kai 05/02/2007

I really rather not touch my development environment unless it’s really necessary. Yesterday it was necessary: the CFEclipse team has released CFEclipse 1.3 final (which I really, really, really recommend to each single CF developer – I can’t imagine going back to Homesite or even Dreamweaver), Adobe has released Flex Builder 2.0.1 earlier this year […]

Customize your card(s)

by kai 17/01/2007

A friend of mine has started a new business – card-shark.de. Basically it is about trick playing cards for magicians – those type of cards that have two diffent card types and values of the front side, a totally different back etc. It’s actually pretty cool and there seems to be a rather big demand.
